This project examines whether a Taylor-based risk-factor mapping framework can accurately and efficiently estimate Value at Risk for option-heavy portfolios without the high computational cost of full revaluation. The method maps changes in portfolio value to a selected set of market risk factors, including equity spot returns, foreign exchange rates, interest-rate curves, and principal components
This essay examines through semiotic analysis the femininity of two female characters, Toph and Katara, from the tv-series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-2008), as well as how colonialism, ableism, and disability are represented and resisted. It further analyzes if the two female characters’ femininities follow or go against hegemonic gender norms. This study draws primarily on Gillian Rose’s (2
Abstract: The rise of AI-enabled defense contractors in the military industry, their pivotal role in times of geopolitical risk escalation, and whether and how they financially benefit from it are recent, largely unexplored phenomena in the political-economic literature. Given the broader implications these developments have for the state's structural dependency on non-traditional commercial a
Den snabba utvecklingen av Large Language Models (LLM) har förändrat förutsättningarna för phishingattacker genom att ge möjligheten att generera mer trovärdiga och kontextanpassade meddelanden. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur organisationer inom banksektorn bemöter phishingattacker där angripare använder LLM, vilka strategier och verktyg som används för att minska dessa hot. Studien
This study aims to critically analyze visual representations by using a semiotic method on Victoria’s Secrets fashion shows. The study examines how women are portrayed and objectified by the media for advertising purposes. Consumption and capitalist values appear as one of the central focuses throughout the study due to the power structure that reinforces its behaviors. Furthermore the exclusion o
I föreliggande studie undersöks den kontroversiella skönlitteraturens roll i svenskämnets litteraturundervisning särskilt i relation till skolans värdegrund. Den empiriska undersökningen utgörs av semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex verksamma gymnasielärare i svenska. Intervjuerna analyseras med hjälp av Rita Felskis (2008) samt Björn Bradlings (2020) teoretiska begrepp för att förklara litteratu
One of the main activities of the European Union (EU) is fostering unity and integration through its Cohesion Policy and emphasis on regional development. The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) represents a substantial share of the EU Structural Funds, which seek to decrease economic disparities between regions in the member states. This thesis presents the first annual estimates of ERDF ex

Abstract In this thesis, I examine intra-migrant boundary-making in Sweden, focusing on Iranian migrants’ attitudes toward other Middle Eastern migrant groups. Drawing on Jock Young’s criminology of vindictiveness, this study situates othering within broader dynamics of ontological insecurity, perceived status positioning, and moral differentiation in late modern societies. The aim of this thesis
Through in-depth qualitative interviews with 17 men and one woman, this thesis investigates masculinity and ‘honor’ in the daily lives of Iranian-Swedish men living in Skåne. The aim of this thesis is to study the men’s description of ‘honor’ and the situations in which it appears as masculine practices in everyday life. For this purpose, a theoretical framework including theories of masculinities
Detta är en kvalitativ studie av svenskars läsning som en social praktik och hur denna påverkas av digitalisering och den samtida samhällsutvecklingen. Undersökningen bygger på fem intervjuer med bibliotekarier, vilka analyseras teoretiskt utifrån Bourdieus sociologiska perspektiv och begrepp. Informanternas uppfattningar indikerar att läsning som en social praktik har förändrats på flera sätt. De
Komplexa, fragmenterade och temporära projekt med flera underentreprenörer (UE) som arbetar parallellt och i olika led är någonting byggbranschen präglas av. Vilket leder till komplicerade arbetsplatsproblem när flera aktörer ofta med olika bakgrund, förmågor och arbetsmiljösystem arbetar på samma plats. Detta kan öka risken för otydlig ansvarsfördelning och bristande samordning samt försvåra kontThe construction industry is characterized by complex, fragmented, and temporary projects involving multiple subcontractors working in parallel and at different stages. This leads to complicated on-site issues when multiple parties—often with different backgrounds, capabilities, and occupational health and safety systems—work at the same location. This can increase the risk of unclear division of
This thesis analyses motivational patterns, socio-demographic characteristics, and institutional participation among individuals aged 60 and over attending organised physical activity services in Montevideo, Uruguay. Using original survey data collected across public and private institutions located in socio-economically differentiated municipalities, the study examines how motivations for physica
Forest Aboveground biomass (AGB) is an important indicator of forest carbon storage, but long-term, high-resolution, and spatially continuous Aboveground biomass estimation remains challenging. This study produced annual forest Aboveground biomass estimates across mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands from 2000 to 2024 at 30 m resolution by combining Landsat time series, Global Ecosystem Dynamic
This thesis investigates how the Finnish forestry company UPM-Kymmene collaborated with the Uruguayan State to legitimize the development of the Paso de los Toros pulp mill in Uruguay. Additionally, this thesis compares the legitimizing development narratives produced during the planning process for the Paso de los Toros pulp mill to the material outcomes of the project. The study utilizes a quali
Digitaliseringens utveckling har förändrat konsumtionsmönster och gjort Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) till en allt vanligare betalningslösning inom e-handeln, särskilt bland unga vuxna och studenter. Trots att tidigare forskning främst fokuserat på ekonomiska och tekniska aspekter av BNPL, såsom ökad konsumtion och skuldsättning, är kunskapen begränsad kring hur konsumenter själva upplever och motiver
Lignin, the second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose, is a promising renewable material but remains underutilized due to challenges in its dissolution and processing. This study combines a literature review and an experimental investigation to better understand the solubility behavior of kraft lignin in different solvent systems. The literature review analyzed recent studies (2012-2023) on
XL-MIMO systems place hundreds of antenna elements across a physically large aperture, enabling high spatial resolution for 6G deployments. At sub-6 GHz carrier frequencies and user distances below roughly 30 m, the aperture is large enough that two propagation effects dominate channel structure: the wavefront arriving from a near-field source is spherical rather than planar, so both range and ang
